From DCPL:
“Starting next week, the DC Public Library users will be able to visit neighborhood libraries on Thursday mornings and a new retail location, Library Express, will open at 1990 K St. NW.
The changes are part of the Library¹s plan to provide interim services during the three-year modernization of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. While the Library will not be able to replicate all central library’s services during construction, the interim services plan focuses on the services that were unique.
Beginning next week:
· “Library Express” opens on May 8. It will house Adult Literacy Resource Center, the Center for Accessibility and a small browsing collection of books and public access computers.
· The Memory Lab, which provides equipment for digitizing home movies and scanning photographs and slides, will move to the Northeast Library, 330 7th St. NE. Services will be by appointment.
· The Studio Lab will move to the Shepherd Park (Juanita E. Thornton) Library, 7420 Georgia Ave. NW. Services will be by appointment and will include audio recordings and post-production for video, audio and music. Music recordings will not be available.
· Materials housed in Special Collections, including parts of Washingtoniana, will be available by appointment starting Tuesday, May 9 at the Washington Historical Society the Georgetown Library’s Peabody Room, and the Library of Congress.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
